Puffy: "This concludes today's lesson. Go have some fun outside for once. And get some food. We're out."

Girl and Penguin leave the hideout.

Penguin: "What's the plan?"

Girl: "I have an idea."

Machine junkyard.

Penguin: "This is your idea of fun?"

Girl: "I've been coming here for a while now..."

*NOISE"

Penguin: "Did you hear that?"

Girl: "Probably a landslide... Or... A MACHINE GHOST!"

Penguin: "A WHAT?!"

....

Girl: "Master never told you?"

Penguin: "No...?"

Girl: "Some say the spirits of abandoned machines haunt all who dare enter!"

Penguin: GULP "Really?"

Girl: "I'm just messing with you."

NOISE

Girl: "Maybe we should go..."

Penguin: "Agreed."

A machine walks up.

Penguin and Girl are shook.

The machine turns out to be just a boy with horns.

Boy: "Hi!"

Penguin: "You're not a ghost!"

Boy: "Nope! Just a boy looking for some things for my game."

...

Girl is enamored.

Boy: "You guys wanna try it?"

Penguin: "A game?! Yes!"

Penguin to Girl: "What is wrong with you?"

Girl, Boy, Penguin play homebrew pong and have a good time.

Penguin and Girl walk home.

Penguin: "You saw he was wearing a skirt, right?"

Interesting character names

Thank you. A lot of thought went into them.

Sorry, i don't think you have a say in this. That is for the machine spirit to decide.

he was originally supposed to take the role that Nine now occupies. Back then he was a student of Beastie.

Its always interesting to see the evolution of stories and their characters. I love sneak peaks like this.
